I love when it snows, but I hate the dirty Richmond slush that usually follows. The streets are so dirty that when the snow accumulates it looks beautiful because it covers up the mess, but when it begins to melt, all the dirt is absorbed and the snow turns gray and gross. I didn’t believe it was going to really snow last night when I went to sleep, but this morning when I woke up I could see through the shades in my bedroom that darkness outside that comes only with a snowy forecast. Even though I knew there was no way it was possible, I called the inclement weather line to see if school was closed. If this is your first snow with VCU, you might not yet know that we very rarely close. I think it may have something to do with the difficulty associated with closing MCV since it is a hospital. Anyway, I was hoping a certain meeting this afternoon might be cancelled, but alas, it is not even snowing now so there is no hope of that happening.
I’ve spent the morning get everyone’s links to their blogs in order. I know a few didn’t work. If you read this, please double check your really quickly and let me know if for whatever reason it is not functional.
Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that it snows around 3:30 this afternoon, just before my meeting and just enough for it to get postponed!
